Do account execs get a heads up about a shutdown? If not, maybe there wasn't a good reason to mention the account exec by name here.

- neilv 2y agoWhich is part of why I didn't put the name in. The essence was that the company might have signed contracts that they knew they wouldn't fulfill. Of course, salespeople should have professional reputations (e.g., for honesty, or for dishonesty). But don't let them be a scapegoat for the more likely real culprit or bigger fish.

- benatkin 2y agoGood call.
- thih9 2y agoAgreed. Also, even if they did get a heads up, hn is not the place to resolve this kind of dispute. Emailing them, or a lawyer sounds more productive. Shaming companies publicly is fine; shaming individual workers and posting personal data is bad taste to say the least.
